I'm no master of women psychology; however, I have spoken to many about what they desire. From what I gather, when they tell you this "lie", they actually believe those words. As far as why the lie exists to begin with, well it all boils down to saving face. Women have to keep up their social status, lest they fall victim to the double standard of being labeled a "slut", while a men who is true about his desires (and acts on them successfully) is called a "playboy" -- with obvious differences in the connotation. I won't say too much here, but message me, and I can go more in depth.
